Common questions
- What is a virtual CTO?
- A senior technology leader who leads your utility's technology, cybersecurity and compliance on a part-time, fixed-fee basis. You get the experience of a Chief Technology Officer without adding a full-time position.
- Is AWIA compliance really included?
- Yes. Your Risk and Resilience Assessment and Emergency Response Plan work is part of the virtual CTO engagement, not a separate project. Your authorized official still certifies to the U.S. EPA; EGI prepares, organizes and reviews.
- How is it priced?
- One fixed monthly fee, quoted for your system after a short review. Fees follow the size of your system, with added savings on 3-year and 5-year agreements.
- Does EGI replace our engineers or our staff?
- No. EGI works alongside your licensed engineering firm and strengthens your own team. When a project needs more hands, EGI looks first for local talent and trains them on your systems.
EGI provides advisory, operational, and technology services, working alongside licensed engineers and engineering firms where a project requires them.
